....i think....i think rockstar just killed the series :|lawlessx
Well, not yet. I really hope they can keep that max payne feel in the game. With the dark tone, comic styIe cutscenes etc. The art on the GI cover looks very GTA-ish though.:P

He's old, guys! Would you rather play him while using a walker?

lawlessx

can we use the walker as a weapon of mass destruction? :)

Nope, because the government would kill him in a matter of seconds with drop & awe bombings. :D

I miss the old look :? I wish Remedy was still on this. Max Payne 2 was good, I still think the first one felt better :D But one thing I am looking forward to are Max Payne's metaphors. Here is one of my favorites "He wanted his gun back, and I was going to give it back to him....one bullet at a time" :D

Was Max Payne ever on the list of attractive videogame protagonists?

We're all mostly males, though... right? Why do we care. Go play Bayonetta and DoA, or whatever else, if you need your sexy gaming fix. ;)

I don't care about the gameplay... I don't care about the art design...

But if the game does not match or surpass Remedy's level of story-telling as presented in the two previous Max Payne games, this one will be a failure. And the dual-wielding Desert Eagles doesn't help Max's image much. He is a non-cookie cutter badass with a down-to-Earth problem and can actually, for once, justify revenge to some degree. I don't want him to turn into another gun-toting super-soldier out for one thing: death and destruction. I want his plight to be believable irregardless of his time-defying actions.

Old, fat, and bald. Good job Rockstar. At least when Snake got old he arguably looked more bad-ass than before.

Yea, I always forget that MGS4 is the epitome of plot, story and characters in a video game.

Sarcasm right? Because MGS4 story was a joke especially compared to MGS2,3 and 1.

I really doubt it would have the same quality of story telling without Sam Lake's writing...and i just saw the scans, i'm not so sure about all this. Is it against ToU to post a link to a forum that posted the scans?

I think they'll stick to that. MP3's story will most likely be just as emotionally ****** up as prior games.

Sticking to the original ideas and being able to tell a new story in the same way are two entirely different things. I highly doubt, without the original writer, that the story will be at the same quality as the other two. It might be good, but I doubt it will be the same.

Anyways, man, MP3 looks like crap in those screens. It's like Eat Lead 2.0, which I enjoyed as a mediocre game, but a Max Payne stop n' pop cover shooter? UGH!

I don't understand why people are complaining about Max being old looking. In MP2 the years of stress and drugs were having a terrible affect on him, resulting inhim entering old age way before his prime.

Not that he was really young tobegin with.

The MGS story was a joke after the first installment.

To each their own I guess. Personally I enjoyed MGS1-3, PO and somewhat MGS4. I know know the series is convoluted and Kojima and Murata do need editors. But I find the series overall story to be decent (except MGS4)
